So my mileage has gotten downright terrible...I'm thinking of having the carb rebuilt and going with a new DUI distributor...
So I've been cruising the threads on dropping a V8 into FJ60s...doesn't look too bad, especially for a 350 SBC or a 5.3 Vortec...the main hurdles as I see it are:
1. Money $$$
2. Time
3. Expertise (probably the biggest one for me...oh, I almost forgot having to explain to the wife why I'm spending so much money on the truck...lol).
I'm very torn on the whole thing- especially since the truck has had some serious $$$ spent on the Man-A-Fre High Pro 2F, Headers, etc...
I'm just wondering what ya'll think?
I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet and go V8 and be done with it and what everyone thinks the real world cost would be to do it or if spending $1-2K on getting the 2F running flawlessly (and possibly desmogging) would be the way to go...
I hate to desmog as well since they've spent a ***load of money getting the thing to pass CA emissions...
Thanks to all for any inputs...
